Wil L. FISHER, E NEW OBI Application tiled December a, 1923. Serial No. 605,667.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AMBRUS L- ]Frs, a. citizen of the United States, -residing at New Orleans, in the parish ofOrleans and 5 State of Louisiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gaskets, of which the following is a specification.

Ihis invention relates to packings, particularly to gaskets and has for its object the provision of a novel metallic gasket de signed for use in gas, steam or other lines and having a construction which makes it operate on the cushion principle, the device being highly etlioient and being blow out 115 proof, in addition to having thegreat advantage of simplicity of construction and cheapness in manufacture. With the above and other objects and ad vantages in view the invention consists in' the details of construction to be hereinar more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of the gasket,

Figure 2 is a cross section therethrough.

Referring more particularly to the drawings I have shown my gasket as comprising an outer or main ring member 10 termed 0t suitable sheet metal preferably cop r, of

at any proper gage. Disposed ginst t e ring 10 is a second ring 11 which was its outside diameter considerably less than the outside diameter of the ring 10. fIhe inside ll of the ring 11' is bent over or s an to define a flange 12 which is dispose toward the ring 10, while the inside edge otthe ring 10 is rolled, spun, c'rimped or pressed to define a flange 13 which extends amut the inside edge otthe ring 11 so as to hold the two members 1y together.

It will be observed that when the llange joint will be had which is particularly desirable for use in high pressure steam lines.

In use the gasket .is disposed between the flanged meeting ends of whatever pipes are to be connected and it will be apparent that the cushion like nature of the gasketwill t5v give it suilicient resilience to makean absolutely tight packing at the joint. As the gasket is formed entirely of metal there is nothing to burn outand owing to the peculiar construction it is likewise apparent that there is nothing to blow out so that it should have the maximum efliciency auddurability. While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention it is of course to be understood that I reserve W the right to make such changes in the form, construction and arrangement of parts as will not depart from the'spirit of the invention or the scopeot the subjoined claim.

Having thus described my invention I W claim: it gasket comprising a pair of ring members, one formed 'atits inner edge with a bead contacting with the other ting member to space the rings. and the other rr'ngw member having its inner edge formed with a bead pressed backto contact with the first named rin member on the side opposite the first name bead. 0

In testimony whereot I 11 1 my signature.
